Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

"People are powerless against curses; the only thing they can do is to redirect the curse's target."

The curse-breaking stone is the only item that can transfer the curse; this stone must be a person, or something that was once a person.

The guide even thoughtfully included a drawing of what the Uncursed Stone looks like: a gray stone fused with half a skull, its empty eyes seemingly able to pierce through the soul.

"This thing can cure Galahad?"

The crowd was skeptical, but in any case, they now had a target to search for.

Horn glanced at the still-weak Garadon and shook his head: "Hopefully we can find him."

With the Garaton mission temporarily concluded, everyone finally had time to observe the interior of the drainage ditch they had so painstakingly reached.

The light from the [Dim Light] spell wasn't enough to illuminate the surroundings, so Dylan grabbed a handful of ruby ​​powder from his bag and sprinkled it into the air before chanting a spell.

2nd Ring Spell - [Undying Flame]

The dazzling flames floated in mid-air, illuminating the surroundings completely.

"!!!? This is a drainage ditch?"

Only then did everyone realize that they were not in a damp and dirty ditch, but rather inside the trunk of a huge tree!

A sense of doubt welled up in my mind.

The inside of the tree trunk was lush and vibrant, looking nothing like a place located in a filthy, diseased village.

The crowd even saw several rabbits hopping around in the grass not far away!

What did I do here? Is this still a dungeon? Is the dungeon lord a lich?

Along with the doubts came a sense of vigilance; in the dungeon, anything unusual often meant danger.

Not to mention, this is happening in the already extremely dangerous [Taifa Underground City]!

However, unlike the others who were filled with anxiety, Lia, being an elf, thoroughly enjoyed the natural environment.

With her eyes closed, Lia felt the gentle breeze blowing through the grass and trees.

"There's no danger around." Lia opened her eyes and happily jumped up a tree.

In this environment, the elves' senses will be greatly enhanced; this is a racial innate ability.

Just like Grace, who has merman blood and can absorb energy from the air, other races can only envy her.

As for humans, well, maybe being born and growing up quickly is a kind of talent?

"Come on, come on!" Lia waved to the people behind her.

The remaining few looked at each other for a moment, then chose to follow Liya.

With Galadon weakened, having Lydia, whose senses are most acute, lead the way is indeed the best option.

If we run into those soul-devouring ghosts again, we can just run away.

After carefully navigating through the lush grass and even wading across a stream, a path covered with vines and branches came into view.

"It seems like something's ahead..."

Lia, who was walking at the front, frowned.

"What do you mean? Don't scare us." Joel's hand holding the Serpent God Scimitar was already turning white.

Lia said hesitantly, "There seems to be the aura of a large creature ahead, but something's also strange."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two assassins, Aysor and River, disappeared into the darkness, circling around from both ends.

A moment later, the two reappeared and shook their heads in unison.

No monsters were found.

"Strange, do I have a bad feeling?" Lia scratched her head, but in the end, she chose to trust the two assassins and led the group through the path.

No surprise attack occurred until the last person crossed the path.

"Phew." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems I was wrong after all..." Before Lia could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

"mushroom……"

A strange sound rang out beside Lia.

"!"

The arrow shot out instantly, pointing directly in the direction from which the sound came.

"mushroom……?"

Where vines once grew, a round figure stretched out its short hand and grabbed the arrow that was shot at it.

"Mushroom..."

After two muffled sounds, a mushroom, no, a mushroom comparable in size to a gigantic Galactus, appeared vividly before everyone's eyes.

"Whoosh!" Joel drew his sword and slashed horizontally at the giant mushroom. No matter how harmless it looked, this was a dungeon, and adventurers had to assume that any creature they encountered was hostile to them.

"Duang..."

The sharp Serpent God's Scimitar struck the mushroom's round body, but it was as if it had struck a ball of water, failing to even leave a wound.

【Whirling Slash】! Seeing that his first attack had failed, Joel twisted his body and swung his sword again.

"mushroom!"

Even mushrooms have a temper, and it was clear that Joel's attack had enraged it.

"Thump!"

With a seemingly slow, thick, short hand, he threw a punch straight at Joel.

The latter reacted quickly and immediately held the blade in front of him, attempting to mitigate the attack.

But the force from the mushroom fist made Joel's expression change drastically in an instant, as if he had been hit not by a mushroom, but by an iron fist the size of a sandbag from Galactus in his prime!

Without any suspense, Joel was sent flying backward by the punch, crashing into a tree trunk and nearly passing out.

Horn quickly buffed everyone and said, "Use fire!"

Elisa and Dylan immediately swung their staffs, and the flaming arrows engraved on the staffs successfully hit their targets, but the effect was not satisfactory.

The thick, white skin blocked most attacks; the flames only burned away the vines and weeds clinging to the mushroom.

"Whoosh!"

Aysso and River emerged from the shadows and, in perfect unison, stabbed at the mushroom cap from both sides.

The former's attack was ineffective; only Rivera successfully cut off a portion of the umbrella canopy with her twin daggers, which were imbued with the power of shadow beforehand.

"mushroom!!!"

Enraged by the pain, the giant mushroom bent over and charged straight at the crowd with unstoppable momentum.

Thankfully, everyone dodged quickly enough, otherwise they would probably have been smashed into pieces.

"Cough cough... What is this thing?"

Joel, who had been pulled from the tree trunk by Horn, coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at the giant mushroom rampaging around the scene with great confusion.

"It's somewhat like a miasma-man, but miasma-men at least have some human characteristics." Horn shook his head; he'd never seen anything like it before. "It's probably some kind of plant-based monster."

"Stop standing there, come and tank the damage!"

Elisa, who was chanting a spell, suddenly yelled, and Joel once again swung his knife and charged at the mushroom.

"Thump!"

In the end, he was still sent flying by that seemingly slow punch.

However, although the swordsman was defeated, the two mages in the party had already prepared their spells.

Fireball!

【Dance Style】!

The fireball, growing larger in the wind, crashed violently into the giant mushroom.
